corruption on vttys

2020-08-09 Thread Felix Miata via mc-devel
Is this a known problem? Block characters following funzip (7) and 
liblapadk.so.3
(3 & 5) do not belong there. I see this quiet commonly on return to a vtty 
running
mc from some other vtty login. Ctrl-O Ctrl-O clears them away.

http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/mc-corrupt-1440x0900.png

This has been going on for several releases across various distros. This
particular screenshot is from 4.8.24 on openSUSE 15.2, but I've seen it on 
Debian
and Fedora too.

random "characters" in filename field

2019-07-30 Thread Felix Miata via mc-devel

In this image they are drawn to the right of icewm session (7 on line 25) and 
rdoc
(8 on line 40). This framebuffer screen happens to be 180x56 (1440x900). Font is
256char 8x16 font from file /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/default8x16.gz.

This is v4.8.22 on openSUSE 15.1, but I've been seeing these spurious characters
at random following fullscreen redraws going back many releases and across
different distros.

This last instance captured for this screenshot resulted following this key 
sequence:

F3
ESC
ESC

on the plain text file default-xsession.desktop, and is repeatable, as is:

F3
F10

NAICT, those "random" characters are drawn in the same location drawn while the
file was in view.

bad timestamps mc-4.8.19 copy from archive

2017-08-11 Thread Felix Miata
(I mistakenly sent to non-devel list.)

Anyone else using openSUSE or Fedora seeing this:

To reproduce:
1-left pane, enter some tar.gz or .bz2 archive, e.g.
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/2.48/contrib/seamonkey-2.48.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
saved locally
2-select all files with * key and dirs with INS
3-F5 -> ENTER
4-TAB

Actual behavior:
All files from archive show current timestamps

Expected behavior:
Files and directories inherit individual timestamps from archive

I first noticed this some weeks ago when busy and no time to follow-up before
forgetting. Tonight I updated two TW systems, then found a BS package for Fedora
25 and tried. All three suffer this. I recognize nothing in changelog. Ordinary
copy continues to work as
expected. :-(

I find Trac difficult to use for searching. Is there an open bug for this? I
didn't find one, but I don't know if I'm searching it right.

Reverting to 4.8.17 solves.

trac search does not find any mc-tty tickets

2013-12-09 Thread Felix Miata
Searching tickets only for mc-tty produces No matches found. Since mc-tty 
is a component, this behavior makes no sense. Trying to find help by clicking 
See TracSearch for help on searching. is an exercise in frustration, as it 
insists on opening in same tab. To open in new tab one must replicate the 
search results page in another tab before clicking. The help page itself 
produces no help for finding tickets for mc-tty, but does have links to 
Tracguide, TracLinks  TracQuery. I tried the latter, which turns out to be 
another exercise in frustration.


How does one get a list of all tickets (preferably only those with activity 
in last year or so) with component mc-tty?


How did Trac software get picked over Bugzilla (which I find absolutely 
simple to use in comparison)?

Use shift key with F3/F4/F5/F6, depending on whether copy or rename, and 
which keys actually do as you expect. Sometimes, depending on distro and 
keyboard configuration, when you expect shift-F5 or shift-F6 to do what you

Shift+F6 should do it.


But it doesn't when running on a tty in runlevel[2,3,5] in every distro I can

with 10 function keys vs. 12 function keys, but shouldn't there be a simple 
solution? Is there?


Also, File Commander is much smarter than MC on group copy/move. In FC when a 
group of files is selected in a fullscreen pane and the highlight/focus is on 
a DIR, F5/F6 copies/moves the group to the highlighted DIR without need for 
further typing beyond confirmation. Has no one ever asked for this

Re: keystrokes change according to runlevel

so yes, that is a slang problem.


I wrote to the slang maintainer, pointing him to the buntu and SUSE bugs and 
this thread. His response follows unedited:


I do not think that it has anything to do with slang.  Looking at the
source code, it seems that all the key handling occurs in
lib/tty/key.c.  The only interaction between that and slang is via the
tty_lowlevel_getch, which simply returns bytes from the input
descriptor.

In lib/tty/key.c, I see a lot of code for specific terminals.  I think
that the problem lies there somewhere.

keystrokes change according to runlevel

2011-05-19 Thread Felix Miata
Could some dev look at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=400552 and 
either suggest that's really a bug that should be filed in the mc tracker, or 
comment there as to how to find a solution, or even propose one there?


BTW, the behavior reported there for openSUSE and the several others is the 
same in Gentoo 1.12.14 (on 2.6.37) as well.

[bug #12223] shift keys should change function menu descriptions

2005-05-17 Thread Felix Miata

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #12223 (project mc):

Oswald, you just don't get it. Until comment 7, you were the ONLY one to
suggest here that the request was impossible to fulfil. You  merely stated an
OPINION - I think Flying was long considered impossible too. With
modern technology, the impossible frequently becomes not only possible, but
commonplace.

Anon, it doesn't matter whether MC is ported to DOS. The fact is NC came
first, and it, as other OFMs, provides the requested behavior, and is the
reason I use other OFMs there.

[bug #12223] shift keys should change function menu descriptions

2005-05-16 Thread Felix Miata

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #12223 (project mc):

One person opines that a fix is impossible, and this is reason for an
immediate close/wontfix? Sheesh. Surely at least one other person could say
something relevant first. Curses isn't necessarily the end of console
development. At least don't mark *closed* if there is *any* possibility of a
fix someday.
